Elop’s Memo
How did we get to this point? Why did we fall behind when the world
around us evolved?
"
This is what I have been trying to understand. I believe at least some
of it has been due to our attitude inside Nokia. We poured gasoline on
our own burning platform. I believe we have lacked accountability and
leadership to align and direct the company through these disruptive
times. We had a series of misses. We haven't been delivering
innovation fast enough. We're not collaborating internally.
"
Nokia, our platform is burning.
